Andy Burns moved into a tie for the team lead with his 15th home run on Thursday night, but the Fisher Cats dropped their final home game of the season, 9-3, to the Harrisburg Senators. They finished the home portion of the schedule with a 35-37 record, and now hit the road for the final four games of the season in New Britain, Conn., starting on Friday night.

For the second straight night, the Senators (52-86) put up four runs in the top of the first inning against losing pitcher Austin Bibens-Dirkx (L; 6-4). Matt Skole started the scoring with a two-run homer to right field. Run-scoring hits by Drew Vettleson and Cole Leonida, all with two outs, capped the four-run frame.

An inning later, Harrisburg tacked on two more on the 20th home run of the year by Kevin Keyes. The two-run blast to right made it a 6-0 game. It was the fifth home run allowed by Bibens-Dirkx over his final two starts of the season.

Burns cut the deficit in half in the bottom of the third. Gustavo Pierre singled in front of a Jon Berti double to begin the inning. Burns followed with a three-run homer to left to tie Ryan Schimpf for the team lead. For Burns, it was his sixth straight extra-base hit as he tallied four doubles and a homer earlier on the homestand.

The Fisher Cats (65-73) could get no closer as Harrisburg tallied three in the seventh against Justin Jackson to cap the scoring at 9-3. Bibens-Dirkx was charged with six runs, all earned, to drop his second straight start. Brian Dupra earned the win for the Senators allowing three runs over five innings.

Melky Mesa finished the night with three hits for the Fisher Cats. Jon Berti tallied a pair of hits and stole his team-leading 39th base in the seventh inning.

After dropping three of four to Harrisburg, the Fisher Cats wrap up the season with four in New Britain starting at 7:05 p.m. on Friday night.
